I've been away at a conference so not painting.  I sold this print while away.  I love selling on-line!  I was hoping this month would be a busy selling month for the holidays but so far it hasn't.  Let's hope people start doing more art shopping soon!  Remember art is a great original gift.  I have paintings, prints, and notecards available in my Etsy store.  If you know anyone looking for gift ideas send them to my website.  Happy Holidays.

I was lucky enough to travel to France this past summer and on the back roads between Provencial villages there were fields of sunflowers.  I had to stop and take some photos.  This painting is the result of one of those photographs.  One of my friends bought it for his wife's birthday.  They were actually on the trip with us!  A wonderful memento to remember our wonderful weeks in France.  It's always nice when people you know like your art.  Here's to the holiday season!  Remember you too can purchase an original piece of art or a print or even notecards from my Etsy store.  You still have plenty of time to shop.  If not my Etsy store there are lots of other original handmade items there.

Last weekend I took a workshop by Maggie Siner.  She has a very different palette than I use.  We mainly worked on learning to draw shaped and use color.  It was really interesting.  I love her work.  I feel like there is always something to learn from taking a workshop or class from a different artist.  I painted this fall scene using her palette of oil colors.  I like how it turned out but I still think I like my more vibrant palette better.  I am going to try and incorporate a lot of her lessons in my paintings.  A good workshop.  

Don't forget the holidays start next week.  It's never too early to shop.  Visit my etsy store for original paintings, giclees, prints, & notecards!  There is something for everyone in every price range $15 - $395.00.

Always experimenting!  Here is a new landscape using thick impasto paint and bright colors.  I like how it turned out.  I seem to be getting more impressionistic which is what I want.  I'm drawn to color and shape not photo realistic art work.  I just finished a workshop with Maggie Siner that was very interesting and taught me a lot about color comparisons.  I hope to continue that study in January when I take a workshop by Trisha Adams who studied under Maggie but is more of a landscape painter.

Don't forget this weekends Ft. C.F. Smith art show.  Reception tomorrow night 6-8pm.  I'll be there from 6-7.  I'll have paintings, small shrink wrapped paintings and notecards.  There are 35 participating artists.  Paintings, pottery, woodwork, and notecards.  Stop by tomorrow or saturday 10-5, sunday 12-4.

A great weekend.  I spent 2 1/2 days in a Maggie Siner painting workshop.  There is always so much to learn about color, composition, and painting!  We're always a work in progress.  Stay tuned for some new exciting paintings.  This lovely painting will now reside in New York City.  I've had a good week with sales.  I sold 3 paintings.  I'm trying to get to 100 by the end of the year in my Etsy store.  I'm at 78 sold.  If you know anyone looking for original holiday gifts send them my Etsy link.  I have paintings, prints, giclees, and notecards for sale.

Don't forget this weekend is Ft. C.F. Smith Artfest.  Reception 6-8pm on friday.  I'll be there 6-7pm.  Hope to see you there.
